Working with Sarah has been invaluable, and I only have positive things to say. Without reservation, I enthusiastically encourage others to work with Sarah. Sarah guided me through discovering my own leadership and mentorship values. These values have become anchor points and have led to conversations with friends, family, and colleagues on how they approach leadership and mentorship. Sarah helped me discover and sharpen skills that make sense intuitively yet become reality when discussed - for example, having awareness of what we can and cannot control. It's been a "five-stars" coaching experience.

Coaching has been such a valuable experience and it wasn't something I realized I was missing or needed in my professional life until I began. I started coaching because my boss raved about it and we were trying to setup a similar service in our unit for students, but from day one it evolved from curiosity to personal and professional growth. As a working parent with high expectations and goals for myself and my unit, I need that one hour every other week to slow down, check in with myself, and create a game plan. The biggest things I get from coaching aside from that reset, are reassurance and empowerment, which has been instrumental at the times I feel lost or overwhelmed.

I started as a new nurse practitioner and found myself overwhelmed navigating a new role and specialty. Coaching helped provide clarification on my role and responsibilities. It helped me distinguish appropriate boundaries between myself and patients as well as with my work-life balance. I also received guidance on how to kindly redirect patients in order to use our time meaningful and efficiently during clinic visits. Coaching has validated the struggles I have experienced and has taught me how to better navigate difficult conversations with patients. Overall, I feel that coaching has made me feel supported, validated, and find more happiness and satisfaction with my job.
